i have thoughts on this that aren’t putting these people down but i do think the pattern is pointing to something real they are experiencing and is something to take seriously if experimenting

Doreen Virtue is a fantastic example, who was a high-profile new ager who was extremely successful and shocked the community when she denounced it all and was like “ya i’m only for Jesus now”
another exp is the story in this long but incredible thread connecting a lot of dots

alright so, it is time. this is going to be a long, winding, rambling thread. i posted yesterday about demons existing and this interesecting with the world of psychedelia. ive posted about this in the past a little and there is always a huge response, people are very into it.

you know someone realized a negative entity when they run straight back to Jesus specifically. like not back to appreciating religion, just Jesus
i have so many thoughts on the above thread 4 later

i had a feeling like this on a trip recently. like i specifically wanted an incredibly strong spiritual center / home / refuge and specifically jesus seemed like one of the strongest available options. i ended up going with something else though

interesting, why’s that? if you wanna share
i think jesus feels very close, accessible and relatable partly bc he was a God embodiment but knew what it was to live as a conscious human. and obvi bc everyone in the us gets a lot of exposure to the idea

in the moment going with jesus seemed like committing to a kind of dualism that i didn’t want. i do wonder if i was responding less to jesus per se and more to a specific outdated stereotyoe

i also didn’t want to belong to a jealous god. said something to me recently like “you don’t choose which gods you belong to” and i found myself actively hoping i didn’t belong to the christian god

i see! those descriptions do sound more like old testament version of god, which some people to stick to. not something you’d know if not around a lot of the religion, but the jesus quotes in the bible are basically all about loving all and getting saved, in the newer test.
